D-air® Racing has long been commonly used because it doesn't require any changes in rider or team practices.
The airbag worked perfectly. It's a great achievement, especially considering that the leathers lose nothing in comfort. You can hardly feel it's there.
No connection with the vehicle
D-air® Racing works without any connection to the motorcycle.
This was an informed design choice that Dainese made because a cable has the following drawbacks in track use:
- It's very difficult to find an appropriate connecting point on racing bikes.
- Cable systems don't trip if the rider isn't separated from the motorbike.
- Irritating cable flutter at high speed.
- The cable can interfere with the rider's freedom of movement.
- Risk of the system being triggered needlessly or even by accident.
Ergonomics for champions
- The D-air® Racing airbag has a three-dimensional structure providing controlled expansion, which combines with high-pressure inflation to enable it to assume shapes and sizes that have been carefully designed to wrap around and protect the rider's body.
- The D-air® Racing airbag comes in 4 different sizes to offer maximum protection and comfort to all riders.
- D-air® Racing is an independent system that doesn't require any kind of installation on the bike.
- The complete airbag system weighs 650g in operating order.
- D-air® Racing has been designed with the benefit of input by World Champions such as Valentino Rossi
- D-air® Racing has repeatedly shown on the track and in special tests that it does not interfere with a rider's ability to control their bike even when an event occurs that is sufficiently violent to trigger the system but is not followed by a crash.
